In 1958, ten years after the founding of Magnum - the legendary  institution that championed a fully authorial role for photogra-  phers - a rich correspondence and close collaboration began  with the Olivetti company. It would become much more than a  conventional relationship between a renowned photojournalism  agency and a major international company. From the largely un-  published original documents preserved in the archives of the  Olivetti Historical Archive Association in Ivrea emerges the re-  construction of a dialogue between two communities. In this ex-  change, art, industry, design, and graphic culture conveyed the  values of a new social and cultural project. It was a remarkable  season in which Magnum photographers - Henri Cartier-Bres-  son, Erich Hartmann, Sergio Larrain, and Wayne Miller - stood  out as perhaps its most significant narrators.
